Trip to Illinois for Steven's graduation

So major CONGRATS to my brother Steven for graduating with a Bachelor's of Fine Art in Industrial Design from the University of ILLINOIS! We are so very proud of him and his accomplishments. Now out into the real world with you!

Here are some photos from our trip back. Some are blurry so forgive the camera phone.

We spent a couple days in Freeport before heading down to Champaign for the big event. On the way back up to Chicago we spent a few nice days with the Schultz/Loiselle side of the family.

ENJOY!

Pics from Day Care

Here are some pictures that Henry's teacher Jen sent us! Apparently he will take naps where ever and whenever he feels like it... toys in hand.

Here is a quick post of some photos from an impromptu hike Sarah, Chris, Andrea, Henry, and I did in early May. This is a gorgeous bluff just west of Hood River for those of you who know the area. We had a nice short hike and a quick dinner at the Full Sail Brewery in Hood River.

Hope you enjoy.

ps. this should be the first in a string of posts in the following days catching up from the last (2.5) months.

Hike in the Gorge

Henry's first trip to the Ocean

So on a whim we up and left for the coast last weekend for two days so Henry could see, smell, and taste the ocean, sand, pub coasters, and whatever else he could get his hands on!

We had a wonderfully relaxing time on what amounted to be really our first family vacation. (not counting trips to Illinois).

ps Cannon Beach is only ~1:20 minute drive from our house. Jealous?

ENJOY!

So many new things in the last two months it's hard to keep updated! Henry's army crawling with the quickness, has 2 big chompers on the bottom and the two top ones are about half way in... 

Enjoy.

More pics to follow from our trip to the beach (Henry's first to see the ocean)

Long time...

So it's been about 1.5months since we've posted pictures... so here you go.

We had a very nice 2-week visit back to the homeland (Illinois) and Henry was a champ. Now were settled back in and reestablishing life's routine.

We'll post more Christmas pictures from other peoples cameras as we get them...

Henry is on his way to crawling... he rolls all around now, having mastered the front to back move shortly after Christmas... Just recently he's learned to use his arms to push him self sideways while on his stomach; meaning he spins himself in circles in place...

Break out the foam corner guards and outlet plugs. :)

Leaps n Bounds

SO Henry seemed to go through some sort of growth spurt last week. He would wake throughout the night wanting to eat, and was restless, cranky, fussy, etc...

And now he's back to normal, sleeping from ~6:30PM-~3-5am... pretty well. (Ode to Andrea and her patience in night feedings.. special place in Heaven for mothers) So in the process of this developmental spurt, he has become much more "aware" and we thought he was already pretty alert. He has taken on a whole new level of personality. It's amazing. We can't wait to come home and show you the newly grown up 6 month old Henry!!!!!!

hope you enjoy the thanksgiving photos:
